Long Violent History

Long Violent History is the fourth studio album by American country music singer Tyler Childers.

[2] In the six-minute video, Childers addresses the album's central themes in opposition of racism, especially when viewed from the perspective of "rural white" listeners.

The album is mostly composed of traditional fiddle tunes, but ends on the title track, a protest song.

[3] According to NPR, Childers cited the Black Lives Matter movement, along with the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921, as the two main influences of the album's themes.

[4] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that it was "the rare protest album that doesn't need words to shout, and it's all the more powerful because of it.
